Aysha’s Story: 

Winning is a state of mind. 

And when it comes to making a career change, the mental and emotional strength needed to take the leap can be just as demanding as the hard skills—if not more so. 

That’s why it helps to have a partner like General Assembly in your corner. Think of us like a coach, mentor, and cheerleader all rolled into one. We’re on the field with you, honing your talent. We’re on the sidelines, strategizing your next move. And we’re in the stands, rooting you on as you score and make your way to victory.

It’s a powerful, transformative journey—one we’ve guided for more than 97,000 tech champions in 50 countries across the globe.

Like Aysha, based in Bahrain. 

She had a dream to further her career—fast—but didn’t exactly see the path forward. More importantly, she didn’t necessarily believe it was possible. 

That is, until she took the first step.

“As I worked in previous administrative positions, I was looking for opportunities to learn,” she says. “That’s when I found an ad about General Assembly on Instagram, and I applied.”

Aysha was accepted and dove in head-first, developing cutting-edge data skills that enable her to peer into a heap of raw intel and identify hidden patterns, uncover unseen trends, and extract actionable insights that help businesses get ahead. 

“It was the best decision I made in my life,” says Aysha. “GA gave me the strength to pursue the career I wished to pursue.”

Now, not only does Aysha have a new career, but she’s a different person. “The mindset changed within me,” she explains. That’s what happens when you rise to a challenge like we present in our courses. As you work through the coursework, you find out what you’re made of—and step into a smarter, stronger, and more confident version of yourself. 

But to get there, you need to take the first step—and, take it from Aysha, it’s worth it.

“I would advise anyone wanting to join GA to just go for it.”
